The steady performer
 No plans to merge with HDFC Bank as of now as both businesses growing successfully separately.
 No immediate needs for capital.
 Lack of clarity on FDI resulting in indecision on listing insurance subsidiary.
 Although rate hikes have been sharp, the company is only 25bps higher than 2008 levels and hence demand unlikely to be
affected even after another 25-50bps of rate hikes; Key concern is real estate property prices which are unaffordable.
 Property prices likely to correct triggered by liquidity crunch faced by developers as banks have become more
conservative lenders; NPLs for non-individual loans at 45bps.
 Expect spreads to correct slightly to 2.25% in 4Q vs. 2.3% currently.
 Exposure to scam-hit companies is limited to two out of 23 named.

Valuation and risks
 We value HDFC using a weighted average combination of PE (75%), PB (15%), and economic profit model (EPM, 10%).
HDFC is currently trading at 21x PE and 4.6x PB. Our target PE and PB multiples are at 24x and 5x. We expect FY11-13e
EPS CAGR of 19%, ROA to increase to 2.9% from 2.7%, and ROE to improve to 23.6% from 21.5%.
 Downside risks: 1) Further liquidity tightness and increase in rates could slow business momentum; 2) asset quality risks.
